In April 2005, the State Council of the Communist Party of China established a “Special Food Supply Center for Central State Agencies” to provide high-quality organic food to senior officials of 94 ministries and commissions of the Communist Party of China. (Picture source: Internet picture)

What is a special food? As the name suggests, it is food provided through special channels and exclusively for the privileged class. This special food contains no genetic modification, no additives, and no pesticide residues. It is truly pure green organic food.
The shady story of China’s “special food”: from township government to Zhongnanhai
It has long been known to everyone that CCP dignitaries enjoy special services. (Picture source: Internet picture)
Zhongnanhai “Special Supply Base”
At the foot of the West Mountain outside the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing, within the “Capital Environmental Protection Zone”, there is a small mountain village called Beixinzhuang. But even the villagers of Beixinzhuang may not be aware of Jushan Farm, a “special supply base” located in the village. A reporter from a media wandered around the village and its surroundings for nearly an hour, and finally determined the location of Jushan Farm based on the vague impression described by a fruit stall owner outside the village and many inquiries from people he met on the road. The following is the reporter’s account.
“I don’t know how you found it. Most people don’t know. In fact, this farm was established after the founding of the People’s Republic of China (referring to the founding of the People’s Republic of China). It originally belonged to ‘8341’ (Central Security Corps of the Communist Party of China). I don’t know where it is managed now. “In the afternoon, green trucks with ‘Military V’ license plates often come to load fresh vegetables.” An elderly local villager told reporters that entry into Jushan Farm is not allowed unless you have a “note.”
This villager lives in a community less than fifty meters away from Jushan Farm, but if asked about the details of the farm, he is confused. He said that except for knowing that the farm grows vegetables for the “chiefs” and the “Political Bureau”, everything else about the farm is “mysterious”. “No one has ever been in. If you insist on ‘breaking’ in, then’ It’s so lively!” The various military vehicles constantly passing by on the road beside the farm hint at its unusual “status”.
The reporter wanted to enter Jushan Farm, but was blocked by security and told: “This is a special farm and no outsiders are allowed to ‘visit’.”
Helpless, the reporter could only stand outside the gate of Jushan Farm and look up humbly at the gate: at first glance, it is indeed not an ordinary farm. The fence is six meters high, multiple security guards are on duty at the gate, and the gate is craned. The arm-sliding type allows only specific vehicles to enter and exit.
Because of the “political sensitivity” of Jushan Farm, there is very little public information. The reporter finally retrieved 9 bidding and winning announcements for Jushan Farm irrigation projects on the “Beijing Bidding Information Platform” of the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission, and learned the following information:
Jushan Farm is now a “special supply base” under Beijing Capital Agriculture Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Capital Agriculture Group”), and has jurisdiction over Haidian Base (i.e. Beixinzhuang Jushan Farm) and Yanqing Base. Because of its “special supply base” ” identity, the winning bidder for the Jushan Farm Irrigation Project also has a very good origin. It is a directly affiliated unit established by the State Planning Commission (now the National Development and Reform Commission) in 1993 – “Dahua Engineering Management (Group) Co., Ltd.”
So, what is so special about a special farm as a “special supply base”? In order to find out, the reporter adopted the most primitive method of “sit-down”.
Around five o’clock in the afternoon, the tranquility of Jushan Farm was temporarily “broken”. After several cars drove out, Jushan Farm employees riding bicycles came home from get off work one after another. They were dressed simply and showed no expressions. The scene was like the 1980s. of state-owned factories.
Taking this opportunity, the reporter wanted to chat with the farm workers, but most of them just shook their heads and waved their hands and left quickly. Fortunately, one worker stopped. When he learned that he wanted to know about the farm’s production situation, he said directly: “You Just understand one thing – the food grown here is the best in China!”
Modern high-tech and green and pollution-free are the two special golden signs of the special farm. Beijing Century Field Agricultural Technology Development Co., Ltd., registered in 2001, developed the “3DFC-660A greenhouse electric defogging, disease prevention and growth promotion system”, which has been put to great use at Jushan Farm. The person in charge of the company once wrote an article, proudly recording his feelings while at Jushan Farm:
“That was the first time I came into contact with the production method of the special farm. Fermented soybeans are used as fertilizer and mineral water from Yuquan Mountain is used for irrigation. No chemical fertilizers or pesticides are used. During the process of installing the equipment, we could also drink the water supplied to the central leaders. Milk, it feels really good. The milk is never sold out. The farm is high. It is surrounded by high walls and guarded by sentries. The director of the farm is equivalent to a division-level cadre. At that time, I always felt a sense of accomplishment when I saw that my products were used here. That is to say, since then, physical plant protection without pesticides has been implemented. Technical research work has been on the agenda, until the birth of the current electrified cultivation model.”
Beixinzhuang villagers told reporters that Jushan Farm generally does not recruit local villagers, but an old lady who was exercising in the park at the third intersection outside Beixinzhuang Village told reporters that her wife once worked at Jushan Farm. She told reporters: “The farm grows about a dozen There are several varieties, some of which are special varieties that we have never seen before, but who grows and picks the vegetables will be strictly recorded. If something goes wrong, it will be a ‘big deal’ because there is a ‘picking safety period’ regulation to ensure safety. Outside the period, even if the vegetables are ripe, they are not allowed to be picked.”
“Southern Weekend” once quoted an “informant who has been involved in the production of special vegetables for many years” as saying that in order to ensure the quality of Jushan Farm’s products, “the Ministry of Agriculture dispatched testing agencies from other provinces such as Shaanxi and Shandong to the base for cross-inspection.” And “all the vegetable files in the base are as detailed as population management.”
The aforementioned Beixinzhuang villager, who lives in a community less than 50 meters away from Jushan Farm, told the reporter of New Business Weekly: “‘Jushan’ should be stricter than ‘Customs’, even for different dishes.” The growers are not interchangeable with each other. For example, those who grow cucumbers cannot communicate with those who grow eggplants.”
“A pig needs to be raised for more than a year before it is ready for slaughter.”
Saying goodbye to Jushan Farm, the special supply base in Zhongnanhai, let’s look at the special supply story that happened to “Second Senior Brother”.
“We often provide ‘special pigs’ to some leaders and some ‘congresses’. After multiple inspections and quarantines, they are escorted to Beijing by special police vehicles, but we do not publicize these.” On the Tianya Forum, a person who claimed to be in Hebei Minghui People who have worked in pig farming groups told reporters this.
To mutually support the above statement, “New Century Weekly” once published a report “The Safest Food”, which also mentioned that the “special pigs” of the Hebei Minghui Pig Farming Group had “knocks on their legs” during transportation. There can be none.”
According to Caixin reports, this pig-raising company, which has “transcended Beijing and Hebei in one step”, has “provided special products to Beijing for about ten years.” More than 80% of its supplies are provided by the state-owned Beijing Second Commercial Group (formerly Beijing Second Commercial Group). Dahongmen Meat Food Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Second Bureau of Commerce).
According to the official website of Beijing Ershang Group, the group “is responsible for the food supply tasks for important meetings and major events held by the party and the country in Beijing, and is also responsible for the important food reserve tasks for the central and Beijing municipal governments.” In addition, Dahongmen Meat Food Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Beijing Ershang Group, also has a “special supply workshop”.
Unlike the Hebei Minghui Pig Raising Group, the local “direct transportation” of “special supply pigs” and special supply vegetables in Xianyan Village, Suichang County, Zhejiang, directly connects with the special supply department, eliminating many “procedures.” According to official media reports, Xianyan Village has to transport local pigs to the city every other day. “Two pigs are slaughtered each time, and the blood of the slaughtered pigs is also required to be sent.” In addition, according to informed sources, Suichang County’s “special supply” demand units also include the Zhejiang Provincial Bureau of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture, and even some foreign government agencies.
The farms “specially provided” by senior CCP officials are heavily guarded. (Picture source: Video screenshot)
Q&A with the staff of the special vegetable base in the township government canteen
The author recently had the chance to meet a farmer who grows special vegetables for the local township government canteen. The following is the relevant information obtained from talking to him——
Q: How old are you this year?
Answer: 60, which is the year of Rabbit in 63 years.
Q: How were you selected to become a special household?
Answer: The township government canteen holds a bidding meeting every year to determine the special households for that year. After I found out about this, I went to bid. There are many farmers participating in the bidding every time, probably more than ten. Three households were chosen based on the best, because one household could not meet the needs of the canteen. People thought my conditions were good, so I won the bid. This is the fourth time I have won the bid this year. After winning the bid, both parties must sign the contract in triplicate, one for the individual and one for the township government, and one copy must be retained at the notary office.
Q: Are there any specific requirements on the quantity and weight of vegetables provided?
Answer: Yes, of course, it is clearly written in the contract.
I have a total of more than two acres of land, and I deliver food to the township government canteen every Wednesday and Saturday. I deliver food worth about 30,000 to 60,000 yuan every year.
The township cannot do the testing, so we always ask experts from the city’s Quality Inspection Bureau to do it. Pesticides must not exceed the standard, that is, we must not dare to exceed the standard.
I mainly use vinegar and white wine to deworm my vegetable plot, and the hotter the weather, the more effective it is. Sometimes carbendazim is also used. I always choose the kind of carbendazim produced in Shanghai, which is of high quality and effective. I don’t dare to use other brands. If the test fails, the gain will outweigh the loss. Oh, you don’t know how strict they are!
One time the test exceeded the standard. The reason is that I applied urea that time, because it rained and the vegetables were flooded. If I didn’t apply chemical fertilizer, I couldn’t save it, so I had no choice but to use chemical fertilizer. When I delivered food to them that time, I told them clearly about this in advance, but when someone from the Municipal Quality Inspection Bureau came to test it, the result was that it still exceeded the standard. All that batch of vegetables was returned. I transferred the food to the canteen of the disabled factory, but their standards were not as high as those of the township government. To be honest, that batch of vegetables is actually much better than what is sold in the market, but the township government canteen will not accept it from you.
Question: If their requirements are so high, your costs and labor input will be high. Will the price be higher than ordinary dishes?
Answer: Of course, it is about one-third higher than the ordinary dishes on the market.
Question: Can you tell me about the situation in the township government canteen?
Answer: To be honest, I have eaten in their cafeteria several times, with at least four dishes, and I had a great meal. There are hundreds of people in the canteen. Breakfast is 2 yuan, lunch and dinner are 4 yuan, and the security guard also eats together.
Question: In addition to the special supply of vegetables, do other rice, noodles, oil, meat, seafood, etc. also need to be specially supplied through bidding?
Answer: Yes, I know that in addition to those that specialize in dishes, there are also those that specialize in seafood, rice and noodles. There are special sources for everything. Bidding is also held once a year. The best bidders are selected and competed. It was also intense.
Q: Are you planning to continue bidding this year?
A: I don’t plan to continue working this year. Firstly, I was too tired, and secondly, my wife was not in good health and couldn’t do anything.
This farmer specially supplies the leftover dishes from the township government canteen, which usually don’t sell well, so they set up stalls in the market. The strange thing is that his vegetable stall is often visited by regular and repeat customers because they all know that his vegetables are green and pollution-free.
There is a customer with a southern accent who comes in every two days and buys 5 kilograms of tomatoes each time. He said it tasted so good that he would eat it raw as fruit when he bought it.
The author has also bought tomatoes from this farmer. My wife told me that it tastes great, slightly sour and slightly sweet, with the unique aroma of tomatoes. It really has the “taste of childhood” that I haven’t seen for a long time. Moreover, another feature of his tomatoes is that the skin can be peeled off directly without boiling water. Over the years, when I buy tomatoes home, I always boil them in boiling water before peeling off the thick layer of skin. Moreover, when you cut it with a knife, you can see that the red surface is white underneath, and the seed juice in several chambers is not full, so the texture and taste are very different from his.
Conclusion: Where is the safe haven in China’s vast sea of toxic food?
The shady story disclosed in this article shows that the CCP’s special privileges have most likely achieved full coverage from the State Council to township-level governments.
The food baskets of the common people are made of bamboo, and the food baskets of Zhongnanhai are made of gold; the food baskets of the CCP governments at all levels below Zhongnanhai are: silver, copper, aluminum, iron…
In the vast sea of poisonous food in China, where is the safe haven – Zhongnanhai; where is the safe island – the civil servant canteens of governments at all levels within the CCP system.
